Antique Meriden Britannia Silverplate Butter Dome Centerpiece

This is a beautiful late 19th to early 20th century silverplate serving piece made by Meriden Britannia Company, marked Rogers & Bro. 2626.

 The engraving across the lid is finely done with a floral motif, and the fantastic banding around the base.

Meriden Britannia was one of the leading American silverplate makers of the late 1800s and became part of International Silver around 1898. Pieces marked like this are known for their weight and quality, and this one feels solid throughout.

A substantial and decorative piece that holds its own as a centerpiece. 11" w x 9.5" tall
